Oh boy! Now I get to wonder if this information is implicitly available to an alphabet agency without my direct consent or awareness.

I have to wonder, by what order of magnitude this improves the precision of "THEIR" geolocation data, when "THEY" collect on persons of interest.

(they? they who? gee, who's they???)

No, it's not needed. The cell towers provide sufficient information about your location. How long have you had a cell phone?

Not implicitly available. That would mean the app does not ask for permission, which is described in the article. implicitly gathered however is a different story.
